Questions
How do I blur a face in a photo?+
Choose Inside, pick the ellipse shape and drag the frame over the face. Raise the strength until the face can’t be recognized.
How do I blur the background?+
Choose Outside and drag the frame around your subject, then add a soft edge so the change is gradual. You place the frame yourself; nothing is detected automatically.
Can someone undo a blur?+
A strong blur can’t be reversed from the image, but a light blur on text or numbers may stay readable. For sensitive details, use a strong blur or Pixelate Image.
Are my photos uploaded?+
No. The photo is blurred in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
